Does anyone know if the center hole in the 8-bolt flexplate is the same size as the 6-bolt version? I measured a 6-bolt crank flange at about 2.15"
Thanks

Thank you, it seems they're the same then. I measured a 6-bolt flexplate at about 2.16"

Yes they are the same , but you can't swap one for the other and use less bolts.

Sure, you can just use 2 bolts, or even just 1 for a little while whistling
